Had a long talk with my mom today.  It was nice.  I really enjoyed being able to talk to her even though it was on a subject I knew she probably wouldn't approve of (me quitting my job).  But she didn't judge me.  She made valid points, and if she did any judging, it was silently.  Thank you for that Mom!

Finally made it to the beach today too!  WooHoo!  I've been on vacation for a few days now and today was my first day there!  I was careful this time though.  Last time I went to the beach (Easter Sunday), I burnt myself silly.  I'm not exaggerating.  I burnt my body (which wasn't really that bad), I burnt my EYELIDS and I burnt the INSIDES of my ears.  Yes, I am that talented.  :)

This time I only stayed for an hour and I flipped at the appropriate time.

Oh yeah, about my vacation.  It has been extended a bit, but I have not quit, nor am I in any more trouble than I already was.  I was finally able to talk to my boss (the other one) today.  He suggested that I don't come back to work on Monday because I'm just leaving again on Friday and have Tuesday off.  So, instead of coming in for 3 days, he suggested to me that I come in and talk to both him and his business partner when I return from Fort Benning.  I agreed.  So I get another week of vacation!  And just when I was getting sad about this almost being over!!  I probably shouldn't be happy about this, but I really can't tell you how long it has been since I've actually had time to myself.  I'm loving it.  I need it.

And after this news about my vacation extension, I made dinner.  I made cheesesteak sandwiches for dinner and corn on the cob.  Now, it is just myself and my two little boys living here.  My two boys are extremely fussy eaters.  They both ate this!!!  My oldest even had seconds!!  Anyone who knows my children knows that this is a MIRACLE!!  I'm so elated.  I've finally found another food that they will eat besides chicken nuggets and  pizza. 

I feel like there was much more I wanted to share today, but it just isn't coming to me.  If I remember, I'll post again later.
